This starts off very slow. The lead character Jacques looks like an international student from East Europe. Apparently this film has some film makers, production staff or whatever that was involved in Jean Claude Van Damme's movie Lionheart. You'll ask yourself why are you watching this movie but it does get better! Since so little happens in it you can completely fast forward over some scenes. Where it actually gets "good" is around 42 minutes and 20 something seconds in after you see that silly poster of Jacques the movie starts to somewhat pick up. What I don't get is usually when you beat people up they stay away but they keep coming and coming back again as if they have a fetish or something. The writing is just awful in this movie.
I honestly wonder if this is a vanity project
The opening song is just horrible. I've heard better opening acts for bar bands. Of course this crappy movie has to be shot in LA and really this just shows how not everyone can do what say for instance JCVD, or rock bands can do. A majority of all Jacques does is kick. I get it there are different fighting styles but it just gets old fast. I'd rather Steven Seagal slap his way through another fight scene post 2001.
The last fight scene is almost laughable how stupid it is. None of the actors I doubt ever got a second movie they were in and not a single person in this movie could act. Jacques does not have the right look for this movie to be the lead. He just stands out in a bad sort of way. The ONLY way to enjoy this is if you pretend Tommy Wiseau and JCVD had a baby. There are a few scenes in The Room in particular that are so similar to this if I wasn't paying enough attention I'd think it was. I wonder what the budget of this movie was. I hope it wasn't anywhere near a million dollars as there is NO WAY this movie made money.
Would I watch this again? Not in a million years. I just hope this forms some sort of cult following.
